It's a big one, as league leaders Arsenal face dark horses Newcastle United in a feisty Premier League encounter at the Emirates Stadium.
Arsenal have the second-best attack in the division, with only Manchester City scoring more than their 40 goals so far this season, while Newcastle have the meanest defence in the league, having conceded just 2 goals in their last 8 league outings. Newcastle sit third in the table with only one league defeat all season, and none on their own turf. The North Londoners have only dropped four points all season, but this will be one of their toughest tests.
Of course, it's Andrew Madley! He has officiated 11 Premier League games so far this season and since the World Cup he has given out cards like it's ...
They took Leeds apart and were unlucky not to get another win on their tally for the season. But here's the tweet anyway, and now we can all have a look at a mildly celebrating Martinelli. Saka got on the loose ball and went down in the box, but the referee waved it away... The players are on their way out of the tunnel now... Their last game was one only it's mother could love, a 0-0 draw against Leeds United in the pouring rain at St James' Park. Mr Almirón is top of the goals while Saka heads up the assist chart. The referee blows for a foul on Saka by Joelinton... For some reason, he doesn't decide to shoot, instead playing it across goal and the right-back cuts out the pass! Arsenal deserve to be winning, but Newcastle are 100% still in this game. That was the sound of 60,000 hearts falling out of their trouser legs. Saka is back up and hopping around like a happy rabbit. Somewhere, Erling Haaland's supercomputer mind and legs are working out that it's only another 50 goals to win the league...
Within the opening five minutes Martin Odegaard volleyed over when well placed, Bukayo Saka drew a save from Nick Pope at the near post, and Granit Xhaka fired ...
They are currently in 14th place in League One, and kick off at the Kassam Stadium is at 8pm (UK time) on Monday, January 9. We kept searching for the breakthrough. Newcastle were increasingly sitting back, soaking up pressure and looking to catch us on the break.

When his Arsenal needed cool and calm, Mikel Arteta fed into the chaos, as the league leaders were frustrated to be held to a 0-0 draw by Newcastle.
This time last year, Newcastle were second-bottom of the Premier League and facing the real prospect of being the richest club in the Championship until Howe dramatically transformed their fortunes and steered the team away from relegation danger. Arteta has brought some much-needed passion back to Arsenal, on and off the pitch, but he now needs to tone it down and learn to balance it out with calmness. Arteta has done a remarkable job in his three years as Arsenal manager and could deliver their first Premier League title since 2004 this season, but he needs to calm down on the touchline to help make that happen. They are still in the driver's seat, but it will be a long five months between now and the end of the season. They had plenty of flair on the pitch, but Arsenal didn't know how to use it, and their inexperience shone through in this game. 22, Arsenal are going to have to find a Plan B to win games if they are to clinch the title.

PRVW 45+2: Joelinton nearly scores! Newcastle played on the counter and could have led at half-time had Joelinton not headed wide at the far post. Half-time at the Emirates and Arsenal have been the better side, but after a strong opening 10, Newcastle have kept the Gunners at bay. Xhaka gets into the box and his cross strikes Murphy, but the ref says no pen!! Nketiah could have scored late on while a late penalty appeal for handball was rightly turned down by the officials.

Newcastle halted Arsenal's five-match winning streak while Iwobi and his Everton teammates risk losing their manager if their poor run continues.
Ndidi kept his place in Brendan Rodgers’ starting lineup and was in the thick of action before Rodgers substituted him in the 72nd minute. Good journalism costs a lot of money. At the Emirates, Newcastle United slowed down Arsenal’s momentum as they fought out a 0-0 draw. The expectation was for Everton to come back stronger for the second half, but they capitulated like a pack of cards, conceding three goals within six second-half minutes. Alex Iwobi’s team followed up their gallant 1-1 result away at Manchester City with a dismal 4-1 home defeat to Brighton on Tuesday. Evan Ferguson made it 2-0 for Brighton in the 51st minute after the earlier strike by Kaoru Mitoma in the 14th minute of the first half

That’s the dream, and obviously that all my loved ones and everyone around the club feel healthy, satisfied and enjoys life, which is beautiful. It is not about trying to stop anybody [getting excited], it’s about being realistic about where we are. It is going to be another big test, but we will play at home in front of our crowd, and I’m looking forward to it.

Sources at Newcastle dismissed the suggestion that the club has an option to sign Ronaldo if they qualify for the Champions League, while a source at Al-Nassr told ESPN that the story is "all fake."

Arsenal extended their lead at the top of the Premier League to eight points despite enduring a frustrating night as they were held 0-0 by Newcastle United.
First Ben White completely skies a shot into the air as he attempted to connect with a loose ball in the area before Odegaard volleys just over the top. Indeed, the Newcastle man was grateful to his teammates for their support as the visitors kept the Gunners at bay to pick up an impressive point. Arteta certainly won't be hitting any panic buttons but will be keen to bolster his squad in attack as they look to kick on again in the second half of the season. The forward was a livewire throughout and gave Dan Burn a difficult evening. Instead, supporters will leave the Emirates disappointed and worrying about Manchester City’s ability to string runs together and cut the gap at the summit. The Magpies weathered an early storm before showing just why they have the division’s best rearguard with 10 clean sheets and just 11 goals conceded.
